Sorry about my long absence. It's not that I don't have any ideas; in fact my mind is so full at this point I am having a hard time organizing everything I have to say. So I apologize in advance for the rambling that will take place hence forth.
A couple of weeks ago Steve and I got together with some or our musician friends. (Remember, this is a crazy bunch of people because, like I said in an earlier blog, we have all spent far too much time alone in a practice room...we are repressed party animals. When we get together, you can guarantee that the cops will be called!!) Anyway, we got together for a game night. We played many games including, Farkle, Dominoes and a very interesting game called Imagine IFF. This is a game that should be played during premarital counseling. It really lets you know who knows you or a better way to say it is, how well someone knows you. Everyone in the game writes their name on a square. When your name is landed on there is a question like: "Imagine if Steve was a criminal...who would he be?" Then it lists 6 possibilities: 1. Michael Meinken 2. Robin Hood 3. Jack the Ripper 4. Heidi Fleice....etc. Then the group turns over from their group of cards the one they think matches Steve. Steve also turns over the one that he thinks matches him. It is great fun and very funny. It is interesting, because you may think that you are giving off a vibe to be one way, but after playing this game you realize that people are perceiving you in a totally different way. I had one friend at the table who never got a question wrong about me. (This means his answer agreed with what I thought of myself every time.) However, Steve and I agreed about 50% of the time. I thought this was interesting. We've known each other for almost 15 years. We've lived together for almost 12. Yet, I'm not sure we really know each other completely. When the question was "Imagine IFF Jenn was a perfect vacation, what would she be?" 1. A luxury cruise 2. A safari 3. A trip around the world 4. A mountain getaway 5. Staying home 6. A beach trip. I chose a luxury cruise, because I have been saying for years that I would love to just getaway by myself and have all my meals taken care of. I don't want to have to pack and repack. I want to be in one place. Steve chose number 5. He thought I'd rather stay home because I don't like to travel. He actually said, "You would love to be able to stay home and clean without any interruption." I shook my head and thought that this response explains so much. So, I say words about a hotel room and room service and a stack of books to read and these words go through the filter of my husbands genius mind and he hears that I'd rather stay home and clean. Interesting....very interesting. It makes me wonder what other ideas and desires I feel I have clearly communicated and he feels that he has "clearly" understood.
It is a great game. We had so much fun, all of us. I was so happy Steve agreed to come with me to this social event. I really do forget how much fun I have when we are together without the distractions of life.
Two good things that have happened:
1. Southern California weather is the best!!
2. I made some new friends this weekend that I am really excited about.

About Me
- Jenn
- United States
- At the age of 5 I received my first diary. It was a snoopy diary with a lock and key. The key was soon lost and the lock broken open, but I filled the diary with what I thought was pertinent information of the time. My very first entry was: "We had fun today we played a game." Thus began my long journey into writing about very interesting things. Today, I still have this burning need to write. To express the mundane in a way that others can say..."Oh yeah, that's so true." Many who know me are already rolling their eyes at the mention of my journals. Yes, you are probably included somewhere in my rants. Now, thanks to this new venture you will never wonder where you stand.I am a mother to 3 girls trying to do the job of mother well. I am wife to a musician, and trying to find my place in his life. I am the proud owner to a golden retriever Faith, and so thankful to have a dog that doesn't jump fences. I love to laugh and make others laugh. Most of all I acknowledge my mere existence is truly a gift and proof of the grace of God.

Yay! You're back! So are you now putting 2 good things that happen each day? That's a good idea. I especially like this one's #2. I think you need to write a blog about what it's like to be at a women's retreat for the weekend and all the weird ways and fun ways that women interact when they are together like that.
